A Burning Ferris Wheel [Malleus]

Clouds moved in as late morning turned toward noon. Ashiel was resting on a ledge, overlooking the creek that rushed through the canyon floor. Spring was blossoming in Auster and the the melt from the mountains was rushing into the canyon. He'd been warned sternly by his mother not to go mucking around in the river and he could see the logic in this so he didn't bother to push his luck. Asharya on the other hand…. well, who knew what went on in her head. One thing was for certain, he was almost a year old and he still had much to learn.

Ashiel got to his paws and padded along the ledge. He felt a sting of bitterness towards his mother who was off flouncing around doing whatever it was she did. She'd taken them out on a few outings and she'd held a few lessons but it never felt like enough, he felt like he was competing with the whole world for her attention. Asharya was the same way. Flouncing off… the… flouncies!

Ashiel swatted a stone and watched it ricochet down the canyon wall and into the water.
